Surik is more or less confirmed to be eventually more powerful than Traya, and the OP mentions "prime", which would likely be that version. Even if not, killing Traya would still increase her strength in the Force.

Traya > Bane > Zannah.Traya as I have demonstrated to you once before is better at everything Zannah has done besides Tendrils, which is a Zannah nexus feat. Surik beat Traya through skill despite being less powerful, Zannah herself is not Traya's equal.
Right, Zannah is superior to Traya and unlike her doesn't have a weakness in melee for Meetra to exploit. She can bounce Meetra around, cakewalk her saber attacks and attack her mind or perform other sorcery. Hell, considering how much faster and more power she is she could probably beat Meetra in sabers pretty sharpish.

That is a fan assumption which is only loosely substantiated, regardless Meetra is more powerful, though I wouldn't say considerably.
Exar Kun, Odan Urr. Its not assumption.

How? no seriously I want to see your mind rape argument again.Oh and Meetra's in-combat speed is half a second whilst on a DS nexus, against top Imperial Guards she cut down a group of them in seconds, better than your Hero's Imperial Guard feats tbh.
Zannah on the other hand beat Bane, who gets as much wank as Vitiate and Sidious at times.

1. Skill is a matter, yes, but I'm not overly concerned with it because sources have stated that Surik has an aptitude for Severing another's connection to the Force. It's not the skill to use that power which I'm contesting, but the raw power required to actually deny somebody the Force. And I don't recall anybody successfully Severing another except when they were drastically more powerful. For instance, Odan-Urr failed against Exar Kun because he was drastically weaker in the Force, despite his knowledge/skill/mastery of the Force and this technique. The Jedi Masters on Dantooine had to combine their strength to Sever a pre-prime Surik, which is likely because their power (on their own) didn't have that drastic edge over Surik's own raw power. And the Masters certainly weren't lacking in Force Mastery, given that sources claim they have masted techniques which are among "the greatest possible for a Jedi Master" and "the pinnacle of Force Mastery".2. The person being attacked, you mean.
Actually I have seen a pretty good argument that Odan-Urr didn't sever Kun because he was too old and had just spent power demonstrating it to Nomi and Vima. I think he became 'far more powerful' later on. Nomi severed Ulic and he was much stronger in the Force than her, Ben is stated to be close in Force power to Jacen but Caedus severs and repairs Ben like he's a testing rat.
I am not saying there is one truth to the mechanics involved but I am not convinced that it's all about power levels either.

Nomi did it when Ulic wasn't properly resisting and was dismayed over his brother's death. Ben has comparable potential but hasn't ever shown comparable power to Caedus minus Oneness.

Nyriss via speed/strength overpowered Meetra on an extreme Dark Side nexus, against Revan she shat her robes when she realised her nexus based power advantage wouldn't save her.
Zannah on the other hand was getting schooled and literally fell over and was going to be on the bad end of a cleveland steamer until Zannah used the insane power of Lake Nath to allow her hax tendrils to save herself... and Bane still nearly defeated her.

AP, how do you think Force Sever is blocked then? Are you really suggesting that it cannot be blocked?
Force Sever is not dependant on 'blocking' it, it is not telekinesis or lightning, it is evidently a very complex technique which just happens to be the gateway variant of Wall of Light, the most powerful technique a Light Sider can use. The mechanics involved are obviously complex, Meetra is a natural master of the technique and is more powerful than Zannah.

Traya lost on a greater nexus, so is Nyriss >>> Traya? A nexus was never mentioned to be a factor in Meetra's loss. Giving it all the credit is illogical.
Bane could have drawn on the same power. Also Zannah wasn't getting schooled, that's a blatant lie.

That's not an answer.

Because of Meetra's skill, not power, on an enclosed platform. Nyriss had a major augmentation advantage going on, I mean ffs she was over-powering Scourge in physical strength and yet Surik was still able to hold on because of her skill. Meetra was debuffed by DK whereas Nyriss was amped.
